Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Lin Guang, who was easily lifted up in his arms, was very quiet and motionless all the way, as obedient as a kitten being lifted up by the scruff of the neck, even though Muzan's hand was not pinching the back of his neck.

"Who are we going to see?"

It was not until Muzan stopped on the roof and briefly confirmed the direction that Rinkou said his first words since leaving the house.

"A ghost who was originally a ghost swordsman."

Muzan was moving very fast, and the scenery around him was stretched into a blurred line and flashed by.

"Ghost Swordsmen...are those ghost hunters who hunt down ghosts, right?"

Lin Guang raised his head, his little head held high. Muzan glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

"It seems you have learned a lot."

His voice was unusually gentle, and he was clearly satisfied with Lin Guang's answer. The smile on his face also showed that he was in a good mood.

"Ms. Tamayo told me about a human organization called the Demon Slayer Corps, whose purpose is to slay demons. She told me to avoid them when I go out at night. She also said that I didn't have to worry too much about those demon swordsmen before, but I heard that a swordsman who can...something called 'breathing technique' appeared not long ago. Those people are very dangerous."

Breathing method is an uncommon term. Rinkou pronounced it carefully and continued to talk only when there was no objection. Muzan was very satisfied with his learning results. After thinking of something, he chuckled lightly with a bit of disdain.

"That's true. But you don't have to be afraid of them. Those ghost hunters are still human. They become inert when injured, and broken limbs won't grow back. Not everyone can learn the breathing technique... But Tamayo is right. It is indeed dangerous for you, so this time I will take you to see someone."

Muzan noticed that Rinko's gaze had shifted away. He looked around. At the extreme speed, the wind blowing on his face felt like hitting a wall. If it were a human, he would have probably fallen apart, but Rinko was not a human. He could withstand such a speed and still enjoy the scenery along the way.

"Have I troubled you?"

It was unclear where Rinko was looking and his tone was unclear, but Muzan felt that he could see the boy's disappointment.

"No."

This is the truth.

For Muzan, nothing else matters except finding the blue red spider lily. And this most important thing is already occupied by too many demons. Taking some time to put aside the damn Demon Slayer Corps and those mindless subordinates and reminisce about the days spent with the well-behaved children is a kind of relaxation.

Perhaps it was because of their similarly frail bodies, or perhaps it was because of their tenacious vitality despite experiencing a miserable life. This was an indescribable feeling, but it reminded Muzan of himself. However, compared to the so-called pity, Muzan felt that this was a gift of recognition. Such people deserved to live, just like him. He was a person chosen by God, and he should live forever, stronger than anyone else.

And Lingguang did not disappoint his expectations. With such a large amount of blood and without anyone expecting him to, he survived tenaciously.

Tamayo is still researching and has not given a complete report, but after a long period of getting along and observing, at least one conclusion is certain, that is, Rinko does have a stronger tolerance than ordinary humans or demons. Whether this comes from that tenacious spirit or the suffering she endured as a human is still unclear. For Muzan, the reason is not important. What matters is that Rinko is more unique and different.

However, Tamayo also mentioned that Rinkou was not good at fighting, did not enjoy fighting, and was not even active in foraging. Muzan could ignore the first problem, but not the last one. He could not eat, but at least he should learn how to catch prey.

"But you should at least learn how to survive."

"Okay. I'll try my best."

No extra nonsense, just a direct response.

Rinko would agree to do so and would actually do it, which is one of the reasons why Muzan likes Rinko.

----------

Kokushibo was not surprised that Yu Muzan came to him. Just like Muzan had said before, he was extremely curious about the ghost swordsman who could breathe. So after agreeing to become a ghost, they were bound to come into contact. Exchanging information and learning intelligence was normal.

What’s abnormal is that Muzan brought someone with him.

Bringing a stranger here is unreasonable and impolite in itself, and the person brought here is a child, which is completely abnormal.

The child was very young. Whether it was his aura or his appearance, he was probably less than fourteen years old, let alone an adult. Under the oversized clothes was a thin body, and the exposed arms and legs were obviously thin.

The child was held in Muzan's hand like a small animal, with his two thin arms completely placed on that arm to prevent him from falling. After Muzan put him down, the moment their eyes met, he slowly moved behind Muzan, completely hiding himself.

"Rinko. Don't be so rude."

The child named Rinko popped his head out from behind Muzan when he was called. Judging from his behavior and mentality, he was also a child. Although his aura was not obvious, he was indeed a ghost.

Can such a young child be turned into a ghost?

"Nice to meet you. My name is Lin Guang. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality caused by your sudden visit."

Under his gaze, Rinkou slowly walked out from behind Muzan, looking a little nervous, but bowing respectfully and properly. His etiquette was very thoughtful and his posture was very dignified. It seemed that he had been taught seriously, like a young master from a wealthy family, but judging from the physical characteristics retained after turning into a demon, he did not look like one.

But Kokushibo soon figured it out. The lifespan of demons is very long. Perhaps this seemingly young child has lived for decades. It is understandable that he learns what children should learn.

"My name is... Kokushibo."

Muzan didn't look at Rinko, but just stroked Rinko's head as if he was giving a puppy a corresponding reward for following the correct instructions.

"I'm here for no other reason than to ask you to keep Rinkou with you for a while. I don't expect him to learn how to wield a sword, but I just want him to be able to protect himself and find food."

Kokushibo's gaze fell on Rinkou again. The child looked at him for a while, and seemed to remember his appearance. Then he lowered his head, looked at the ground quietly, and stood properly.

A polite, well-behaved child who seems quite obedient.

"understood."

The communication was surprisingly concise. Muzan left the next second, leaving only Rinko standing there.

Kokushibo has no experience in raising children, but this is no ordinary child, but a demon who has lived for a long time. As long as his head is not chopped off or he is not exposed to the sun... there should be no problem. However, Muzan only requires him to know how to protect himself. In other words, he should be able to realize who the enemy is and leave quickly, or hide well without being discovered. There should be no problem.

As for finding food, ghosts will naturally go looking for food when they are hungry.

"follow me."

"Ok."

The boy immediately followed after hearing the call.

At least Muzan taught him a good lesson in being obedient.
